es to razors and particularly to a motor operated razor of simpleconstruction and great utility.

It is an object of this invention to provide a the necessity of usingsoap or other lathers and like` materials in shaving.

A further object is to provide novel means for the cutting of hair fromthe surface human body.

of the Another object is to provide a device of this character which isself sharpening, thus ,dis-

pensi-ng with the necessity of changing blades or removing blades forexternal sharpening as is the case with the ordi at the present time.

nary type of razor in use WithA these and otherA objects in view', the

invention consists in certain novel features of construction, andcombinations of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described andclaimed.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which formingpart of this application, in

Figure 1 is an elevation of the completely assembled device,

Figure 2 is a plan view of the same, Figure 3 is a sectional view takenon line 3-3 of Figure 1, v

Figure 4 and Figure 5 are enlarged fragmentarylviews of details ofconstruction, hereinafter to be more fully described,

Figure 6 is a sectional View of Figure 3,

Figure 7 is vof Figure 6, and

Figure 8 taken on line 6-6 a sectional View taken on line 77 is anenlarged sectional view taken ysubstantially along line 8--8 of Figure1.

Referring to the drawing,

I have shown therein a mechanically operated razor having the usualflexible shaft and cable 10, a stationary handle 11, a base 12 attachedthereto and having a U-shaped head 13 which forms a recess 14.

A revoluble shaft 15 connected to a suitable scurceof power is locatedwithin openings 16 and 17 in the head 13 Upon the end of the eccentric18. Mounted and base 12 respectively. shaft is mounted an upon thiseccentric and located within the recess 14 is a movable blade 19 havingangular cutting teeth 20 and having slots 21 at opposite ends.

A U-shaped guide member 22 is slidably and revolubly mounted in a sleeve23 at the rear of the head 13 and has slots 21. An arcuate located inthe recess its ends 24 mounted in the tensioning spring 25 is 14 andbears against the head 13 and the blade 19, the shaft 15 passing throughan opening 26`therein.

A stationary blade 27 having a sharpened edge 28 encloses the recess `14and is held in place by suitable clips 29, the edge 28 coacting with theteeth 20 of the movable blade.

In operation, the razor is used in the ordinary manner, the .shaft 15causing a rotary movement to be imparted to the blade 19, the teeth 20of which take up the hair and force it against the cutting edge 28 ofthe stationary'blade 27, the guide member 22 coacting with the slots 21to keep the blades. parallel.

I have found that the use, of my device dispenses with the need of anylather whatsoever' -and have also noted that the spring 25 causes agrinding together of the blades 19 and 27, thus giving a self-sharpeningrazor.

Various slight changes might'be made in the general form and arrangementof parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I donot limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myselfat liberty to make changes and alterations as fairly fall within thespirit and scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A'razor having a straight edged stationary blade, an eccentricallyoperated superposed revoluble blade having inclined teeth coacting infrictional contact with they stationary blade, means for extending theteeth over the edge of the stationary blade during a part of eachrevolution of the movable blade and for retracting them therefrom duringthe remainder of each revolution, means for maintaining parallelrelationship between the blades, resilient means for holding the bladesin frictional contact and a frame for holding the various parts incooperative relationship.

2. A razor having a straight edged stationary blade, a movable bladeprovided with inclined teeth in frictional contact with the stationaryblade, a'n eccentric for imparting a rotary motion to the movable'bladein the direction of inclination of the teeth and for extending andretracting the teeth with respect to the stationary blade, means formaintaining parallel relationship between the blades, resilient meansfor holding the blades in frictional contact with each other and a4frame for holding the component parts in cooperative relation.

3. A razor having aV stationary blade with a straight cutting edge, amovable blade having inclined teeth coacting in frictional contact with4. A razor having a stationary straight edged blade and a movable bladehaving inclined teeth, the inner edges of the teeth forming cuttingedges which coact in frictional contact with the edge of the stationaryblade, means for causing the teeth to alternately project over andrecede from the cutting edge of the stationary blade while in motion,resilient means for maintaining i'rictional contact between the bladesand a frame for holding the component parts in cooperative relation.
